.mkv file convert with subtitles

im trying to convert my - MODERATED: no mention of illegal material! - which have the option of being viewed in english or japanese with subtitles. everytime i try to convert the .mkv file into anything else it comes up as japanese audio but no subtitles. is there anyway i can get the subtitles to be converted with the video? or is there any way i can get the english audio when i convert the video?

thank you sooooo much for the help.
but once ive done what uve said, i end up with
4 different files.
2 .acc files one in english audio and one in japanese audio
1 .ass file i think the subtitle
and 1 .H264 file ???

i dont seem to have a video file?
and how do i get the japanese audio file with the subtitle file?

Im not too much of a pro you see...

To sum this up...

The files that you now have are without a container.

The 2 .ac3 files are your audio files
The .ass file are your subtitles
The h264 is your video

Just mux them into a container.
I figured you had a muxer.

Also h264 is high quality...
Ac3 is audio copied directly from the source
